kh1958 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) That's insulting. I actually laugh out loud when I see shit like that (usually followed with a barely audible "you gotta be fuckin' kidding me"). Nice scores. The Half Price Books outlets here charge $29.98 for routine green label Prestiges. I hate it when a Half Price Books store has a buyer who thinks he knows something (they usually don't) and tries to price an LP as a collectible. It defeats the whole point of the store. I recently ran across a green label Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot volume at a small store which was priced at $100. Ha ha. That being said, I've found far more prime LPs priced low, than the reverse. Fortunately, the main HPB in Dallas is not like that at all--they seem to largely price based on condition. I've found so many great classical LPs at HPB for little money that I've had to declare a moratorium. Edited March 10, 2011 by kh1958 Quote
AndrewHill Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Its hit or miss. They price a West 50th Street Prestige in reasonable condition for $3.98 and a Prestige OJC for a $100 (this actually happened. I looked at the LP and told them it was an OJC and they knocked $90 off LOL!). Whatever. Their inexperience with jazz lps at the location near me has paid off tremendously. Quote
Tom in RI Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Picked up Stan Tracey featuring Charlie Rouse, Playin In the Yard, $5.00. Quote
king ubu Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Trumpet Time - Hot Lips Page Sextet / Buck Clayton All-Stars (Jazztone J-1024 10" LP) The Burt Goldblatt cover is in perfect shape! The vinyl looks very clean but sounds a bit less so (and has some hardly visible but audible scratches). For a lousy 15 Swiss francs, I would have bought the cover alone, I guess! Also found this one, of which I'd never heard before (for 10 Swiss francs - haven't played it yet): Unbroken - The Buddy Tate Celebrity Club Orchestra (MPS 21 20740-4) Quote
miles65 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I like to hear jazz from all ages and places. Apart from the USA I have compilations of historic recordings from the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switserland and Australia. One white spot on the map was filled last weekend when I found 7 LP's from a series named 'Anthology of Sovjet Jazz' in a second hand record shop. They were 2,50 Euro per lp. The series name and the lp title are the only English on the cover of 6 of the lp's. One has the artist names and the song titles also in English. From a list wich seems to be an "also in this series" I came to the conclusion that there are 8 LP's in this series. The titles of my 7 lp's are: The First Steps I'm Blue With Out You A Chance Meeting Fall In Love With Me Dancing Fingers Sing For Me Hitparade A collegue of mine who comes from Russia agreed to translate the songtitels and artits names for me.

king ubu Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Is there a way to clearly identify an original pressing of Jimmy Smith's "Bashin'"? I have it on hold for me and played the first two tracks of the big band side in the store today - wow does it sound wonderful! Quote

sidewinder Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Ubu - Goldmine lists 'Bashin' as released 1962 with numbers V-8474 (mono) and V6-8474 (stereo). Median value about $12 for VG+ in both cases. If it is the heavier vinyl then likely to be this issue I guess. Quote
Pete B Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I found a nice clean copy of the Emily Remler - Larry Coryell lp for $2 last week. Quote

It's considerably pricier, but then there won't be any shipping costs and I just love that album, so having it on vinyl will be great! Thanks for looking it up - seems to be a simple case without seventeen re-pressings and Liberty and Manhattan editions like with Blue Note... Quote
kt66brooklyn Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 I found a copy of the 10" Jazz at Massey Hall, Volume One. The cover is completely seam split, it's just two pieces of cardboard, but the artwork looked OK. I didn't even look at the record because I expected it to be trashed beyond all recognition. THe salesman priced it at $10 bucks so I bought it for the cover. The vinyl was covered in muck, but there was only one scratch and it plays beautifully (after a cleaning) with only a few ticks from the scratch. I particularly like that there are no bass overdubs on this pressing. Quote
king ubu Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 found this 7" 45rpm EP yesterday: The cover is sooooooooooooooooo cool! None of the music is new, and I have no idea how rare it is (I paid around 10$ for it) Info from ayler.co.uk: Tracks 2, 6 and 10 released as an EP which was attached to a booklet published in Italy by Fratelli Fabbri Editore in 1969. Pictures of the EP sleeve and the booklet are below. Btw, I did buy "Bashin'" and it sounds magnificient on vinyl! Quote

Pictures of the EP sleeve and the booklet are below. Nice find indeed! Was not aware of that EP release until I saw it listed in the Ayler.co site! Looks like it was included with the 'Il Jazz' magazine. Italian publications did that at the time (they still may do it now...). Hope Valerie Wilmer got proper credit for her photo in the liner notes! Quote
king ubu Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 No, I think there's no credit for Willmer - which is somewhat weird as this looks like a little labour of love, with an album discography on the back. But then there are no production credits either - guess it was a bootleg after all... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 A boot can still have love infused. Sweet find. Quote
alankin Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Joe Henderson - "The Milestone Years" for $24.99. Quote
king ubu Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 A boot can still have love infused. Sweet find. Yes of course! Looks like this was such a case! No photo credit, though. Quote

king ubu Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Well, I found it flippin' through all these French Sidney Bechet singles and other stuff... saw that cover and BANG! needed to get it, absolutely! I guess I'd have payed whatever the dude told me it would cost... Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Joe Henderson - "The Milestone Years" for $24.99. Maybe my favorite non-Miles jazz box. Good find!! Quote
king ubu Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 not sure if any of these qualify for "great finds", the vinyl is mostly ok (I don't speak that lingo where "good" means so beat-up you'll never be able to spin it again, in my world "good" means "good") and the covers somewhat beat-up in various degrees. The Supremes - A' Go-Go (Stereo) Inside Sauter-Finegan (RCA Victor LJM-1003, foldout) Jazz Omnibus: A Cross-Section of Jazz Today, in All Its Styles (Columbia CL 1020) Stan Kenton - Back to Balboa (Capitol T995) Lionel Hampton - Golden Vibes (Columbia CL 1304) Lionel Hampton - Silver Vibes (Columbia CS 8277) Like Cool - The Contemporary Trombone of Eddie Bert (Somerset P-5200) The Dave Pell Octet - The Old South Wails (Capitol T1512) Erroll Garner - Paris Impressions, Vol. 1 (Columbia CS 8131) The Jonah Jones Quartet - Broadway Swings Again (Capitol T1641) Teo Macero - Acoustical Suspension (Teresa FW40111) We Three - Dinah, Joe, & Sarah (Dinah Washington, Joe Williams, Sarah Vaughan) (Roulette R 52108) Dionne Warwick - The Windows of the World (Scepter SPS 563) (punchhole) could have picked up plenty of beat-up Four Freshmen Capitols, too, but the above was enough (and cost me around 40$) Quote
sidewinder Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 could have picked up plenty of beat-up Four Freshmen Capitols, too, but the above was enough (and cost me around 40$) No respect around here for the Frosh.. Quote
king ubu Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Tell me which ones to get and I'll be back... I've not heard a single tune by them yet. Quote
